Yesterday we went for a drive. Even though it was snowing and blowing, it had been a rough week and we really needed to get out for a bit. We happened upon the remains of an Estate Sale in Brookeville, a small town just north of here, and stopped in to have a look.
It was the 2nd day of the sale and there wasn't much left, but I did find these sweet woven pieces.
I wish now that I had taken more time to ask about the pieces.
The women having the sale were sisters and I gathered from their conversations that the estate had belonged to their mother.
I think she must have been an interesting woman who appreciated art and all things handmade.
I was lucky enough to purchase two beautiful handwoven jackets, some lovely pieces of pottery, and these paintings of Village Life in Mexico as well.
The woven pieces and the colorful paintings will adorn the walls of my studio.
How lucky I was to have found such wonderful treasures!

Hi!
ReplyDeleteWe went for an outing too, to the marina and fed the ducks and to the park to feed more ducks and fish. It is good to get out, and take a break. You found some treasures! I especially like the weaving on the ladder.
Talk soon!
